If you Google "five band global tuner ct 800" you will get about 80
hits, none of them much use.
There are four reviews on Amazon.com: they are not much good mostly
obsessing with the bright leds.
Nothing about sw sensitvity, bandwidth, image rejection or anything
useful. One review said it had good AM sensitvity, one said it sounded
good, another said it made loud pops when switching. It seems to be
discontinued and any that are left in stock are being cleared at
$49.95. I think that the one I saw at The Source must be the new model
(ugh, shudder) . You could look up the previous post and ask how he
likes his. I seem to recall he used "Sharper Image" in the title.
